Don't Don't Don't buy Hue until they fix this app – Philips Hue gen 1 Review

UPDATE March 10, 2017: DON'T update this app. It will crash immediately and every scene you have ever created will be lost and you're left with 50 bulbs that must be reprogrammed -- and a generation 2 app from philips which is simply awful. I love the generation 1 app when it works, but now it's gone and not supported by philips. I regret going down the Philips Hue path -- even though it is so very promising when it works. Philips used to be a pretty good company, but other competitors will dust them once they gain critical mass on LED bulbs. I have over 40 hue bulbs throughout my home. Originally version one worked Ok, not great. Then version two of the app is released. It's awful. Unusable, actually. Back to version one for me, but Philips has hobbled it with the update forcing you to upgrade to version 2 of the app with every click. I'm going to sell my Hue system ( using the latest HomeKit bridge) and go with another system that has a decent app and interface. Philips, a real disappointment. I love your sonicare toothbrush, though. Stick to dental care and gracefully sell your home automation line to Samsung. Game over.
